Studies were undertaken to assess the pathogenic potential of Meloidogyne incognita on carnation. Nematodes were inoculated on thirty-day-old carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus) plant roots at population levels of 10, 100, 1,000 and 10,000 second stage juveniles. Plant growth was reduced at the level...
